You're not going to get random out of a 555, a micro controller can easily generate pseudo random numbers.

LEDs, True RGB LEDs, RGB Color Changing/Blinking LEDs, RGB Color Changing Light Bars. LEDs by the piece and LEDs in bulk form are in stock.
The K6 version of this LED cycles through 6 different colors. It needs 4 to 5 volts.
